Started as a poor little girl

Xiao Jinan was a wise and far-sighted emperor. He deeply understood that the prosperity and long-term stability of the country were inseparable from the hard work of the people.

The emperor praised Lulu's method of driving away locusts. In order to pass on this method among his ministers, he decided to take this opportunity to let his ministers learn it well.

So the emperor summoned the court ministers, introduced in detail Li Lulu's wonderful method of killing locusts, and ordered them to pass this recipe on to farmers everywhere.

All the ministers acted in accordance with the order, because they knew that this law was of great significance as it was related to national stability and the livelihood of the people.

Prince Jin also joined the army to kill the locusts. He stayed in Datan Village for a while and then rushed around non-stop.

At this critical moment, children's personal affairs have to be put aside for the time being.

As a prince, he knew that he had to stand up and set an example for the people.

However, just as the ministers were preparing to convey this method, an unexpected war suddenly broke out in the border areas.

The Dongli Kingdom took advantage of the internal turmoil in the Southern Qi Kingdom and attempted to invade this territory.

Wei Zhonglin and the generals fought desperately, but unfortunately, due to his advanced age, Wei Zhonglin was wounded in the battle and his condition was extremely critical.

When Wei Lingheng learned that his grandfather was injured, he was extremely worried. He decided to go to the palace to ask for permission to go to the border to provide support in order to protect the safety of his grandfather and the country.

When passing through Maple Leaf Town, Wei Lingheng arranged for his deputy to rest in the town for one night, and he took advantage of the night to go to Datan Village to meet the person he had always been thinking about.

At night, the breeze blew gently, making the windows creak. Li Lulu got up from the bed to close the windows.

At this moment, a figure appeared on her windowsill from nowhere like a ghost.

This frightened her so much that she screamed: "Ah..."

Before she could even finish her cry, a pair of large hands tightly covered her mouth.

"Lulu, don't be afraid, it's me, Wei Lingheng!" Wei Lingheng's voice was soft and gentle, for fear of scaring the timid little deer again.

Li Lulu patted her chest with lingering fear. The scene just now really frightened her to death and almost made her heart jump out of her chest.

If she hadn't been brave enough, she would have been scared to death.

"Wei Lingheng, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" Li Lulu complained.

She cursed in her heart: "Is Wei Lingheng's brain broken? He didn't go through the main door at night, but climbed through the window. It's really inexplicable!"

Wei Lingheng scratched his head in embarrassment. He just wanted to save some trouble so as not to disturb his uncle and aunt, so he used his lightness skills to climb in through the window, but he forgot that this would scare Li Lulu.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time. This time time was really tight, and I jumped in directly in a hurry." Wei Lingheng scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

"Come in and sit down. Don't stand by the window in the wind." Li Lulu greeted Wei Lingheng warmly, motioning him to come into the house and rest.

Wei Lingheng was decisive. Without saying a word, he strode to the table and sat down steadily.

Li Lulu had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that Wei Lingheng was holding a piece of removed armor in his hand.

She was puzzled, but she didn't intend to ask more questions. However, she couldn't help but asked, "Wei Lingheng, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Lingheng nodded slightly and replied calmly as usual: "Yes."

He seemed reluctant to say more, just a simple word, as if he was afraid of causing Lu Lu unnecessary worry.

Seeing Wei Lingheng's indifferent reaction, Li Lulu was puzzled but did not ask any further questions.

She quietly arranged Wei Lingheng's accommodation and let them go to the next room to rest.

Wei Lingheng said shamelessly: "I want to take a shower in your space. I have been traveling for a month and have not had a chance to wash myself properly. I am dirty all over."

Li Lulu has long been accustomed to Wei Lingheng's shameless behavior. After all, he has always been like this.

So, she pulled Wei Lingheng up without hesitation and walked straight into the space.

As soon as he entered the space, Wei Lingheng rushed to the bathroom impatiently and took a good bath.

After taking a shower, he changed into the clean clothes prepared by Li Lulu, and threw his own dirty clothes into the washing machine to wash them clean.

Then he went to the top floor to hang out the washed clothes.

Back downstairs, Wei Lingheng lazily curled up on the sofa and watched TV leisurely.

At this moment, Li Lulu was staring at a comedy variety show intently, laughing so hard that she was shaking with laughter.

Seeing this, Wei Lingheng couldn't help but laugh along.

Before she knew it, Li Lulu felt a little sleepy and said she wanted to go back to her room to rest.

Wei Lingheng stayed alone in the living room and continued watching TV programs.

When he heard her gradually steady breathing coming from the bedroom, Wei Lingheng carefully got up and tiptoed into her room.

He gently sat sideways on the bed, gazing at Li Lulu's curled-up back, and a feeling of tenderness and sweetness welled up in his heart.

"Lulu, if I leave this time, I may never come back, but I will try my best to come back." Wei Lingheng's voice revealed a hint of helplessness and frustration.

He held the envelope tightly in his hand. It was a letter from Wei Zhonglin to him.

The words in the letter made him feel heavy-hearted. The Dongli Kingdom was coming at him with such force that even his grandfather thought the chances of winning were slim. He had never experienced the baptism of war, so how could he expect to win?

Li Lulu lay in bed, not falling asleep. She listened quietly to Wei Lingheng's words, her heart full of worry.

When she heard Wei Lingheng asking her if she wanted him to come back, she was silent for a moment, and finally said softly:

"Then you must work hard and come back. Aunt Xue and the people of Southern Qi are all waiting for your return with a great victory."

Her voice was gentle yet firm, as if giving Wei Lingheng strength.

Wei Lingheng was a little surprised. He had just heard Li Lulu's even breathing and thought she was fast asleep, but he didn't expect that she was still awake at this moment.

This discovery warmed his heart, but at the same time he also wanted to know more about her true thoughts.

"What about you?" Wei Lingheng asked again, with expectation and persistence in his eyes.

He longed to get a clear answer from Li Lulu, even if it was just a simple sentence.

However, Li Lulu remained silent, as if she had something to hide.

Wei Lingheng refused to give up. He moved closer to Li Lulu, cupped her cheeks with both hands, forcing her to face his gaze.

"Lulu, tell me, do you want me to come back?" His tone was full of earnestness and anxiety.

Li Lulu stared into Wei Lingheng's eyes, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

She bit her lip and finally said, "I... of course I hope you can come back safely." After saying that, she lowered her head slightly, not daring to look into Wei Lingheng's eyes again.

Wei Lingheng felt Li Lulu's sincerity, he held her in his arms and felt her warmth.

At this moment, he secretly vowed that no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, he would do his best just to be able to return to her.

Because in his heart, Li Lulu is the source of his motivation to move forward courageously.

"Wei Lingheng, are you out of your mind? We are best friends, how could I not hope for you to come back soon?"

Li Lulu was so angry that she was about to explode. She felt that her voice was about to break through the roof. What on earth was wrong with this guy to ask such a stupid question!

Despite being yelled at by Li Lulu, Wei Lingheng still smiled happily like a child.

For him, as long as he knew Lulu was looking forward to his return, nothing else mattered.

"Okay, I understand." He slowly stood up and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, he suddenly turned around, looked at Li Lulu firmly, and said softly:

"Lulu, if I can return to you safely this time, will you marry me? Of course, you don't have to answer me now."

After saying that, Wei Lingheng strode out of Li Lulu's room and closed the door gently.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

Because his heart was full of strength and faith, he firmly believed that he would be able to return safely.

Li Lulu, who stayed in the room, silently gazed at the bright moonlight outside the window, with mixed feelings in her heart.

She felt that her thoughts were like a tangled mess, which could not be cut or sorted out. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, and she didn't know how she fell asleep.
